AmaVida
Overview
Timeless elegance spills from the decks of the AmaVida, a ship that debuted on Portugal and Spain’s Douro River in 2013. Rust and gold colour schemes bring together the Douro’s breathtaking sunsets and a sepia hue that conjures timeworn snapshots of the world’s oldest demarcated wine region. Most staterooms feature balconies from which to enjoy views of terraced vineyards, as well as Entertainment-On-Demand, climate-controlled air conditioning and an in-room safe. As a member of La Chaine des Rotisseurs, the exclusive international culinary society, AmaVida will treat you to exquisite, locally inspired cuisine paired with unlimited local wine-and the region’s signature Port-as well as beer and soft drinks with lunch and dinner in the Main Restaurant cada noche.
